Kristen Althouse is a Amateur Muay Thai Fighter training under coach, Bruce Lombard, out of Titan Fitness & MMA in State College, PA.  Kristen had her second amateur fight on April 18, 2009 in Hamburg, PA.  Althouse was involved in a highly competitive fight against a very strong opponent, Ally McGinley, that resulted in a draw through the judges eyes: 29-28, 28-29, 30-30.

The video above shows the competitiveness of the back and forth fight.  Kristen showed great heart and will as she withstood the aggressive first round attack of  McGinley.  But, she was able to recover and push the pace the rest of the fight.  Althouse seem to win the end of each round which could have given her the decision in most judges opinion.  She displayed good high to low offensive attacks and attempted to neutralize her opponents effective punching attack with countering front kicks(teep) and a few jumping knees. 

Althouse was able to effectively counter  McGinley’s clinch by using her over/under arm position and returning knees at her opponent.  When Kristen applied her plumm she was very dominant and landed knees at will as Ally could not defend or counter the position. 

This was a fast paced fight against to well conditioned athletes!  Viewers, please feel free to be a judge and give your own opinion on who won the fight!
